Python: How to pip install opencv2 with specific version 2.4.9?

Solution 1:

Via pip you can specify the package version to install using the following:

pip install opencv-python==2.4.9

However, that package does not seem to be available on pypi.

A little trick for checking available versions:

pip install opencv-python==

Which returns:

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement opencv-python== (from versions: 3.1.0.0, 3.1.0.1, 3.1.0.2, 3.1 .0.3, 3.1.0.5, 3.2.0.6, 3.2.0.7) No matching distribution found for opencv-python==
